This is the same “rule” my D’s friend has (her friend is also 18 and doing on-line dating). The mom wants to meet the guy her daughter is talking to and planning to meet. It's just a safety thing. If you don’t meet the mom, they will assume you have not so good intentions and/or are just not really interested. You’re not making a commitment in any way by meeting the mom.
If you like talking to the girl and want to meet her, meet her mom. It's really that simple. They're being upfront about this.
I will have to meet both her mom and her, so I guess I will have to worry about both liking me
OP, this isn't the kind of "meet the parents" that happens when a couple gets serious. This is a let-my-mom-check-you-out-since-you're-basically-a-stranger type of meet-the-parent. A totally different thing. Though 18 seems a little old for this type of protective action toward an almost adult child, these are the terms the mom has set (not a bad idea, for younger kids), so if you want to meet the daughter in person, you have no choice but to get with the program. Take it or walk.
Not a bad idea, but I'd make it a real flower. A carnation, or something. One for the mom and one for the daughter. It may sound lame to you, but it'll make a good impression on the mom. Seeing as how this is a protective mom, hedging your bets isn't a bad idea.
I think when I went steady with a girl, when I was 12, I had to meet the mom, before we went to a movie. You are trying to date a 21 year old who's mother wants to meet before going out? I guess that's being safe, but damn, no wonder kids have no clue on courtship/dating/having relationships....
We been texting for 2 months or so. I asked if she wanted to hang out. She said yeah. She later tells me she can't because her mom won't let her because we never met. She said her mom invited e to come to their house and meet them. She is 18 I am 21. I don't know what to think
I know her mom wants to make sure I am not a weirdo or something.
...
Considering her age, I don't think her or her Mom's request is unreasonable.
[you only have to worry if you are a weirdo or something]

while a real flower is nice, it doesnt last, and a guy wants to make a lasting impression. the stuffed flower on the other hand lasts as long as a stuffed animal, doesnt convey a serious note, yet it still shows that you are thinking about the future.
